On Monday we had second week of gaming contestants make their way through the perilous and demanding course that is The Beast, using all their skills to accrue as many points as they could. Twelve competitors became eight, then five and then the remaining and best two, Kirby and the new rebooted Lara Croft, met face to face for Level 4, with Lara’s climbing skills nabbing her the title of Beastmaster, earning 10.000 of whatever currency they use in the next country she explores.

Not only did she rise, she beat everyone else!

But as this week closes and another looms, new challengers emerge from the shadows of the gaming industry and the internet, ready to face the Beast and join Mega Man X and Lara Croft in the grand final for the title of Ultimate Beastmaster!

Nathan’s back with even more characters facing the beast, with Drakulus committing a larger contingent this time around. Timlah joins the fray with his own set and Robert has a couple of strong characters. For the sake of balance, and considering my character won last week, I’m not sponsoring any videogame participant this week. Let the best gaming character win the title of Beastmaster and come one step closer to beating all others in the finals, for the glory of the Ultimate Beastmaster.

He’s been in the game far longer than anyone else, and he still has a thing or two to teach these high-def youngsters!

47 joins the competition, to prove he’s not just a master of disguise.

After all he’s been through, what’s another overgrown monster?

Corvo’s here to prove he doesn’t need the Outsider or his gifts to be the best in the business!

He couldn’t control the Warrior, so he’s turned his attention to The Beast!

Though some of his powers have been dampened for everyone’s safety, he’s still a powerhouse to contend with!

You don’t get to rule the Slabs without being tough. Brick’s here to show just how tough he is!

To him, the Beast is another dragon whose soul he’ll devour!

If hell couldn’t hold him, what chance does The Beast have?

He rose once to defeat evil, now he’s here to prove no mere beast can defeat a hero!

He’s been told he can’t just fly to the end, but that won’t stop this fierce little guy!
